Kawhi Leonard finished Wednesday’s win over the Timberwolves with 45 points (15-of-20 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and six three-pointers.
Wednesday isn’t the first time an opponent looked helpless in its attempts to slow down Leonard, and it won’t be the last, either. Shooting 9-of-11 from two and 6-of-9 from three, The Klaw shot 75 percent from the field, and now has five games this season with at least 40 points. Since the All-Star break, Leonard has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball, which aligns with his season-long value. The Clippers play two more games in Week 20.
